I'm 22 years old with a $50M net worth and until a few months ago I was a ghost on social media I'm Brazilian, moved to Orlando and lived in a shitty apartment grinding 10+ hours a day learning to trade Spent 2 years unprofitable. Lived off crypto savings while I figured it out Now I day trade futures and swing stocks for a living and I've built a life most people think is fake So why did I finally start posting? Because I want to be recognised as one of the greatest traders of this generation I have the results. $1.1M in trading profits in the first half of this year alone, over $30M from swinging stocks - but I’m nowhere near finished yet But results without presence don't exist in people's minds I want people to look back at this account years from now and see the whole journey documented from day one This is my Market Wizards application in real time

If you move your stop the break-even the second a trade moves in your favor just admit you don’t have an edge bro Most of you enter a position and immediately panic until risk is off the table You drag your stop to entry, price comes back to test structure, wicks you out for zero dollars, and then runs 5R without you You do this 10 times a week and tell yourself you had a great risk management day A trade needs room to breathe and chop around before expansion happens If your entry criteria were valid, let the initial stop do its job or don't take the trade Stop suffocating your own winners because you can't stomach normal price volatility

If all you do is day trade futures, you built yourself a high-stress job with a hard ceiling Day trading gives you good intraday cash flow on active capital I trade futures for cash flow and it does its job Once you try deploying real eight-figure size, futures liquidity limits and slippage will tear your account apart Most of you stay glued to 3-minute candles for years and never learn how equities move on daily and weekly charts I keep around $2m in my day trading account and deploy the rest into equities and swings Day trading creates the active income Equities are where real wealth actually compounds

Most of the “traders” on here don’t have an edge They logged 200 trades on one setup, have had a few months of luck and talk like they’re Warren Buffet on here Until you log 1,000+ trades with detailed screenshots, market context, arrival speed, and execution notes, you don't have a strategy You have a tiny sample size and zero statistical backing Work harder

You must learn to live with drawdowns When a real business has a bad quarter, they don't panic and burn down the building They audit the data, isolate the operational leak, and adjust Most of you take five consecutive losses personally, revenge trade to get your money back, and blow up by Friday Profitable traders pull up the trade log, verify every setup against their criteria, and keep executing If a red month makes you question your entire career, you never had an edge in the first place

Having a “goal” to hit every month on your trading account is brain-numbingly stupid You have no idea what the markets are going to give you, so why do you have a goal for it? When you are behind on some random number you made up, you over-trade and force garbage setups When you hit that target early, you sit on your hands and leave money on the table even if the market is printing A+ setups You cannot force the market to pay you on a schedule. Some months offer massive runners, some months give you choppy chop Trade what the market gives you

If you were born in the US and you complain about life being hard, you are delusional I moved here from Brazil at 14 Most of you were born into the biggest financial cheat code on earth and spend all day crying that the system is rigged I stayed alone in Orlando to grind charts 10+ hours a day while my family moved back Built a $50M net worth by 22 because of this country If you can't make it with an American passport, you wouldn't survive anywhere else

I’m up 20% on this position already btw This will likely be the easiest +100% trade of my life

Unfortunately the best way to become a good trader is to lose a lot of money trading.

I saw a great quote the other day “Being a great trader with terrible risk management is like dropping an Olympic swimmer into the middle of the Atlantic. The talent just buys them more time until they die” I know guys that have turned $10k into $750k+ in a year just to lose it all the next (happened in 2021 to a guy I used to trade with) If your risk management is bad, it’s only a matter of time before you give it all back to the markets - no matter how “good” of a trader you are Don’t be stupid, manage your risk properly so you can survive for the long-term

So many traders blow up with this sort of mentality They look at the fundamentals and take a trade before the charts validate the idea Lose nothing then miss the big down-move because they have no capital left Don’t be like this!

Any serious trader knows you need multiple strategies and to trade multiple assets If you think trading one simple model on just NQ will feed your family - you’re wrong Can you make money doing that? For sure But only if you have a job or another business giving you income Because if you’re trading full-time and your strategy goes through a bad period (happens to all traders) you’re going to go through weeks or even months of not making any money That’s why I day trade - multiple different assets and entry models AND swing trade - different stocks and entry models My day trading isn’t going great for me right now (bad month) but swinging stocks going really well for me Even though my day trading is going bad, my swing trading is making up for my losses and more This is literally the worst trading month I’ve had in years and I’ll still end the month green Diversification is a beautiful thing

I’m down over $400k in September That’s around 17R - my worst month in about 2-3 years. It came at a terrible time too because I just sized up Any trader who says they’re winning all the time is lying As long as you can learn from your mistakes, stay level-headed and keep working - you WILL turn it around if you have an edge Am I too worried? Not really While this is a big loss, it’s still only about 25% of my trading profits gone from this year, I’m still up 7 figures since January But it’s definitely tough to go through bad spells like this The only thing to do from here is to keep working and analyze what I’ve been doing wrong

I have my DMs open and let anybody message me. I don’t respond often, but every once in a while I check them and reply to a few, while ignoring all the shitty prop firm deals. I don’t need promo code money like half this industry. This guy told me he’s been working hard for 6–7 years but still can’t succeed. So I asked him to show me the work: his journal, database, screenshots, and data from the thousands of trades he supposedly studied. He had nothing. All he could show me was a broker statement filled with losses. People love calling themselves hard workers because it makes failure easier to accept. But the second you ask them to prove it, there’s nothing there. Sitting in front of a chart and losing money for years isn’t hard work. Repeating the same mistakes without documenting, reviewing, or improving anything isn’t hard work either. That’s just wasting time. I have zero sympathy and zero chill when it comes to this. Stop lying to yourself about the work you’ve put in. Your results might take time, but the evidence of your effort should already exist.

Do not fall for larpers like this This guy made 26K trading prop firms, meanwhile he never got a payout of such size TJR made him famous and he made money but not from trading, he is not the trader you guys think he is Stop falling for straight BS

Never went to college Still ended up with a $50M net worth at 22 years old Not daddy’s money If you have a goal that doesn’t involve college, give everything you have to pursue it Don’t go $100,000s into debt and hurt your future because some old people said it’s the right thing to do

The trading lifestyle you seen online is completely fake Pretty much no one is making a ton of money trading while travelling and going to the beach for 6 hours a day I’ve made millions from trading - this year I took one 2 week vacation I had planned a Summer trip to Europe but cancelled it so I could focus on my community while still having time to trade, backtest and improve my trading (don’t fall for the lie - you still need to do this all the time even when you become profitable) Most people don’t realize how much work it takes to actually make it in this game Mostly because it SEEMS so simple - even for something like dropshipping you need to create a store, find a supplier, figure out shipping and all that For trading all you need is a brokerage account (takes 5 minutes to create) then the whole job is just clicking buy and sell buttons This is why the trading industry is so full of scammers It seems so easy to do, which is why so many people fall for it But most of the millionaire traders I know are working constantly on their trading - 8-12 hour days every day They’ll be profitable and making millions yet are still backtesting for 4 hours a day trying to find improvements or more entry setups, different strategies, etc Come into trading with the mindset that it WILL be hard That’s the only way you’ll give yourself a chance of making it

I'm liking the look of $NFLX right now They're beating earnings consistently, except for just a 0.17% rev drop recently which isn't too bad They're consistently innovating - doing things like showing the GTA 6 trailer before youtube, boxing events, etc And a move back to all time highs is 82%

If you are not in any 2x leveraged crypto funds, you are missing out on generational wealth

Trading is going to punch you in the mouth & if it were easy everyone would be successful. Success is hard & the difference between winners & losers are the winners solve the problems rather than accept them “battered trader syndrome”. Sometimes you think you’re doing the right thing but you actually been bending your rules cuz it worked for a cycle. The market speeds up & slows down, dressing up a setup to look like something it’s not. Low volatility makes more patterns that seem to not follow through but the reality is the setups are often missing context. Learning comes from making mistakes.

This is facts My life outside of trading is pretty boring Most days I just wake up, trade, review my trades, speak with my students, backtest some more, then just chill I’ll party with friends on the weekend but that’s about it Over a year ago I had $20m from trading and thought I “made it”, bought a $3m yacht and started having parties on it all the time It was good for connections, but I was drinking alcohol and doing drugs multiple times a week and it started having a terrible affect on my trading Ended up selling it after just a few months for a $1.1m loss and got serious about my routine, health and trading again Since doing that I’ve been on an absolute tear with trading and have had my best trading months If you want to be a profitable trader you simply can’t have a crazy life You need a routine that you stick to - it’s boring but it has to be done
